The Maori name is Matakitaki (meaning To Gaze Upon)
It was formed in Lake Wanaka from remnants of glacial rock about 20,000 years ago. A Conservation area, it is is home to native mountain ghekos and giant ground wetas. There is Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Salmon to be fished from the lake.
The Poplars at the edge of the Rippon Vineyard appear to be standing guard :) Wanaka is at the same latitude as the Bordeaux region in France, and Rippon is well know for its Pinot noir and Riesling.
Taken with Canon 450D. I had to crop some off it after straightening the lake horizon. Thanks for viewing. Comment/opinions always welcome.

Just exquisite, Eve. Those Poplars make a great lead-in and accentuate apparent depth.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
I would think you would get a lot of painters to your part of the world LE. You are a great ambassador.

A beautiful shot of a truly lovely spot Lyn, the kind of place that revives the soul. P.S., I love the way the poplars seem to be guarding the lake.

LynEve, I do believe that you could stumble and accidentally press the shutter release on your camera and still come away with a spectacular landscape photo. :)
The saturated colors and contrast in this shot are very pleasing to the eye and boost the wow factor. A beautifully composed scene, as well. Outstanding work!

Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. - Philip Guston
Crikey this is a beautiful shot; a strong contrast in the serenity of the view and subject matter but very intense in it's treatment and character. The water and sky are in competition for dominance amongst the solid mountains and island, and the HDR gives it a real punch. Nice job and Kia Ora, Lyn.
